In the tight-binding approximation we consider multi-channel transmission through a billiard coupled to leads. Following Dittes we derive the coupling matrix, the scattering matrix and the effective Hamiltonian, but take into account the…
Some of the subtleties of the integrability of the elliptic quantum billiard are discussed. A well known classical constant of the motion has in the quantum case an ill-defined commutator with the Hamiltonian. It is shown how this problem…

We analytically compute asymptotic expansions of a 1-dimensional sub-manifold of stable and unstable manifolds in a 4-dimensional symplectic mapping by using the method called asymptotic expansions beyond all orders. This method enables us…
Dynamical billiards, or the behavior of a particle traveling in a planar region $D$ undergoing elastic collisions with the boundary, has been extensively studied and is used to model many physical phenomena such as a Boltzmann gas. Of…
Asymptotic expansion is constructed and justified for the solution to a nonuniform Neumann boundary-value problem for the Poisson equation with the right-hand side that depends both on longitudinal and transversal variables in a thin…
Conformally symplectic systems include mechanical systems with a friction proportional to the velocity. Geometrically, these systems transform a symplectic form into a multiple of itself making the systems dissipative or expanding. In the…
A nonuniform Neumann boundary-value problem is considered for the Poisson equation in a thin $3D$ aneurysm-type domain that consists of thin curvilinear cylinders that are joined through an aneurysm of diameter $\mathcal{O}(\varepsilon).$ A…
We derive asymptotic expansion for the spectrum of Hamiltonians with a strong attractive $\delta'$ interaction supported by a smooth surface in $\R^3$, either infinite and asymptotically planar, or compact and closed. Its second term is…

It is shown in detail that the dynamics of the Einstein-dilaton-p-form system in the vicinity of a spacelike singularity can be asymptotically described, at a generic spatial point, as a billiard motion in a region of Lobachevskii space…
Astute variations in the geometry of mathematical billiard tables have been and continue to be a source of understanding their wide range of dynamical behaviors, from regular to chaotic. Viewing standard specular billiards in the broader…
Consider billiard dynamics in a strictly convex domain, and consider a trajectory that begins with the velocity vector making a small positive angle with the boundary. Lazutkin proved that in two dimensions, it is impossible for this angle…
We consider two and three-dimensional quantum billiards with discrete symmetries. We derive the first terms of the Weyl expansion for the level density projected onto the irreducible representations of the symmetry group. As an illustration…
A hard-wall billiard is a mathematical model describing the confinement of a free particle that collides specularly and instantaneously with boundaries and discontinuities. Soft billiards are a generalization that includes a smooth boundary…
We study the asymptotic limit of the Cahn-Hilliard equation on an evolving surface with prescribed velocity. The method of formally matched asymptotic expansions is extended to account for the movement of the domain. We consider various…
The multidimensional cosmological model describing the evolution of $n$ Einstein spaces in the presence of multicomponent perfect fluid is considered. When certain restrictions on the parameters of the model are imposed, the dynamics of the…
In an ordinary billiard system trajectories of a Hamiltonian system are elastically reflected after a collision with a hypersurface (scatterer). If the scatterer is a submanifold of codimension more than one, we say that the billiard is…
The billiard problem concerns a point particle moving freely in a region of the horizontal plane bounded by a closed curve $\Gamma$, and reflected at each impact with $\Gamma$. The region is called a `billiard', and the reflections are…
Let $q \ge 3$ be a period. There are at least two $(1,q)$-periodic trajectories inside any smooth strictly convex billiard table, and all of them have the same length when the table is an ellipse or a circle. We quantify the chaotic…
